Product Description
Manhattan psychiatrist Jukes Wahler has his hands full trying to track down his sister, Cathy. She's disappeared with her abusive boyfriend, a fashion photographer who pals around with Padraic O'Connor, a known Irish terrorist. Convinced that O'Connor must know where Cathy is, Wahler sets out after him alone on the streets of New York. He has begun to hear the mournful, inhuman wail of the Banshee, and it doesn't sound like a myth. By the time he finds the terrorist, he's ready to beg for help instead of demanding information. O'Connor may know enough Celtic lore to help Wahler escape this ancient and deadly beauty, but it will be for a price. When they face this avenging angel - from whom no crime against women can be hidden or remain unpunished - they may find it costs more than any man can afford.
Amazon.com Review
Songwriter/musician Greg Kihn got deservedly great notices for his first thriller, Horror Show, a delightfully nasty parody of the Hollywood schlock scene, and he should have a similar success with Shade of Pale. As psychiatrist Jukes Wahler searches the darker streets of New York for his missing sister and her abusive fashion photographer boyfriend, he encounters a devilish crew of Irish terrorists and Celtic ghosts. Like his hit songs Jeopardy and Breakup Song, Kihn's prose is pungent, pithy, and rich with buried meanings.
